Old Man Logan #11

The minimalist cover of this 2016 Marvel series installment says everything without showing a single figure — a chain-link noose and a sickle rest against a bold red circle evoking the Japanese rising sun, with silhouetted spears and a fence line lurking at the edges. It's a striking, elegant piece of design by Andrea Sorrentino that perfectly frames "The Last Ronin Part 3: The Art of War" as a story steeped in samurai atmosphere and quiet menace. Jeff Lemire, Sorrentino, and Marcelo Maiolo are clearly pushing Old Man Logan into darker, more contemplative territory with this arc.
